Re: Harry’s Garage

I guess one of the things which might be a concern on an older car is the extra electrical load as epas can take a decent slug of power. Could be that. I suspect that also - when it isn't providing assistance it isn't fully detached, so you possibly then have some extra unwanted inertia or friction...

Without trying to speak for Dan, I understand it is from £15.5k+vat. Which presumably gets you a rebuilt standard spec engine. I suspect most (all?) customers seek some upgrades for moh powah, which will require moh dollars.

Re: Your fleet running reports

If I ever got another Disco4, I'd find it hard to resist fitting a set of the 20" Landmark wheels. They suit it so well. Although they are diamond cut so won't be nearly as robust. And all the cars (Discos, RRS etc) on the Land Rover Experience day I went on wore 19"s with chunky tyres. Le...

Re: McLaren W1

I'd say it's prettier than a Senna, but it's not as good looking as a P1. I do think that extending rear wing in lieu of a long-tail is a pretty cool idea, but you know 99% of the times it will be deployed will be for show as opposed to go. The hypercar market just feels like a game of top trumps - ...
